Chapter 262 - Accompanying the Wife
Chapter 262 of "Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself" opens with suspenseful action: Mu Xingfeng glanced towards the bathroom, "Iâm afraid I canât make it tomorrow. I donât... Keep going!
Mu Xingfeng glanced towards the bathroom, "Iâm afraid I canât make it tomorrow. I donât have time these two days."
His little girl was sick, and he wanted to stay with her for two days, so she could slowly get used to the climate of the Imperial City.
"What could you possibly be busy with?" Gu Haoyu didnât expect Mu Xingfeng to reject him; this was the first time.
"Accompany my wife." Those three simple words unexpectedly warmed Mu Xingfengâs heart as he said them. Wife, what a beautiful word, especially when used to describe his little girl.
But the person on the other end of the phone didnât share this sentiment. Those two words were like a steel needle piercing his chest.
"Wife? Xingfeng, I never knew you could be so impulsive. How long have you known that girl? How long could you actually have interacted? Two days? Two weeks? Two months? And you can already call her âwifeâ? Xingfeng, your act is a bit too unrealistic."
"Brother, I donât understand what youâre saying." Mu Xingfeng genuinely did not understand Gu Haoyuâs words. Act? Was he, Mu Xingfeng, the kind of person who would act for someone else? Of course, except for his little girl.
"You understand. A girl who canât even handle a kiss, and you call her âwifeâ? You think Iâll believe you? Ruonan has loved you for nearly twenty years, donât you think treating her like this is too cruel?" Gu Haoyuâs heart ached at the thought of Lin Ruonan being heartbroken upon learning that Mu Xingfeng brought back a girlfriend.
"Brother, I think I made it very clear last time. Thereâs nothing between Ruonan and me. Please donât interfere with my private feelings again."
If it werenât for all those years of brotherhood, and if he didnât understand Gu Haoyuâs feelings, Mu Xingfengâs patience would have worn thin long ago.
"Xingfeng, Iâm not interfering with your feelings. I just canât bear to see you make a wrong decision. I know she is very pitiful right now, even homeless. If she is willing, you can recognize her as a sister, or we could all recognize her as a sister, to give her a stable life. You donât need to sacrifice your feelings to repay her..."
"Thatâs enough, Brother. My woman doesnât need anyoneâs pity, nor does she need anything from anyone. In her life, thereâs only me, and can only be me. I love her, and it has nothing to do with repaying a favor. Thatâs it, I have things to do."
Without waiting for a response, Mu Xingfeng directly hung up the phone.
Turning around, he saw the little girl at the bathroom door. All the anger disappeared from his face, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he walked to the dining table and called her over, "Come eat."
An Ran responded and walked over, secretly observing Mu Xingfengâs expression.
Just coming out of the bathroom, she saw him still on the phone, seemingly having an argument with someone from the other end. She felt the tension and hostility from him, which made her hesitate to move forward, but she didnât really understand why he was angry.
After he hung up, the sudden change in Mu Xingfengâs demeanor made her wonder if she had just seen it wrong.
Mu Xingfeng served the soup while watching the little girlâs expression, raising an eyebrow, "Whatâs wrong?"
An Ran took the soup he handed over and tried to ask, "Instructor Mu, do you have something going on? If you do, you donât need to worry about me, Iâm already feeling better."
She increasingly felt like she was causing trouble, especially when she was with Instructor Mu, always unintentionally bringing trouble to him. She thought the two of them must be star-crossed.
